Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10S
The AirTAC Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10S is a double-acting pen-size mini cylinder with a rear adjuster screw that shortens the retract end of the stroke. On a Ø16mm bore it gives a nominal 75mm stroke with a 10mm fine-adjustable window — settable from 65 to 75mm, so you set the end position without changing hardware.

About the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10S
The AirTAC PBJ16X75-10S is a JIS pen-size double-acting mini cylinder with a 10mm adjustable-stroke window. A rear screw with a lock nut shortens the retract end, giving an effective stroke range of 65-75mm. The extend end remains fixed. Force is identical to a standard PB body, delivering 100.5N push and 90.7N pull at 0.5MPa.
The slim SUS304 stainless body saves space in tight jigs. It features an M5x0.8 air port, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches. The Ø5mm rod handles coaxial thrust; plan for a safe working load of about 60N at 0.5MPa to account for seal friction.

| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø5 mm |
| Nominal stroke | 75 mm |
| Adjustable window | 10 mm (65–75 mm) |
| Adjuster thread | M5×0.8 |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Elastic bumper (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 200 mm |
The adjuster shortens only the retract end; the extend end is fixed. Force is unchanged from the standard PB double-acting cylinder. Confirm the set position against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 100.5 N | 90.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 140.7 N | 126.9 N |
Adjusting the stroke does not change output force — these are the same values as the standard PB double-acting cylinder of the same bore. Size with a friction margin.

Where the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10S Is Used
Changeover Fixtures
Quickly tune the 65-75mm retract end during product changeovers without swapping hardware.
Trial Stops
Dial in the exact back position for test probes and avoid reordering cylinders for new lengths.
Variable-Depth Insert
Set precise insertion depths on the fly for different parts using the rear adjuster screw.
Is the Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10S the Right Cylinder?
This 16mm bore provides 100.5N push at 0.5MPa. If you need less force, the 12mm bore offers 56.5N push. For heavier tasks, you would need a larger non-pen series. Remember that only the retract end is adjustable, so verify your extend position carefully.
After setting the 65-75mm range, re-tighten the lock nut to prevent vibration drift. Confirm your essentials: 16mm bore, 75mm stroke, 10mm window, S magnet, and any LB or FA mount. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the last few millimeters, so at high speeds meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Need to fine-tune the end position on site
- ✓ Retract end sits within 65–75 mm
- ✓ Force at your working pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Access to the rear adjuster screw
- ✓ Keep the load coaxial — avoid side load
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
- check Set the adjuster, then re-lock the check nut.
- check The adjuster shortens the retract end only.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
- check Do not dismantle the front or back cover.
Airtac PBJ Adjustable Pen-Type Cylinder PBJ16X75-10S FAQ
The effective stroke range is 65-75mm. At 0.5MPa, push force is 100.5N and pull is 90.7N. At the 0.7MPa maximum, push is 140.7N and pull is 126.9N.
A rear M5x0.8 adjuster screw shortens only the retract end by up to 10mm; the extend end is fixed. Re-tighten the lock nut after setting to prevent vibration drift.
